Big, Dumb Blender
After using the blender for over a week now, I can't help but not write a review and wonder about the design meeting.
Creative: "Don't you think we should maybe make it circular, not square so everything blends better and the contents don't hover in the corner like they do?
Boss: "It's huge, and its called 'Ninja.' It will sell."
Creative: "Well, some people like to put things in the blender while its in use, like protein powders and kale and things, but this blender has a tiny pour spout that you can only put about one berry at a time in, so you have to stop the blender and take the top off every time you want to add an item or powder."
Boss: "You worry too muuuuch. Its big and its called 'Ninja,' bro. It'll be alright!"
Creative: "But with the three blades, you really can't fit too much in the blender to begin with, so people are going to have to stop the blender to put things in, like 4 or 5 times each time..."
Boss: "People are dumb. 'Ninja!' Its BIG! Relaaaax..."
Creative: "Can we at least put the spout in the front of the blender so customers/users don't have to turn the blender around to put things in the tiny hole?"
Boss: "Nin...JAHHHHH!!!"
Creative: "O.K. What about the 3 blades. There's nothing to keep them in the blender, so when you pour, you have to be careful of the blades will pop out into the glass you're pouring in and make a mess."
Boss: (whispers) "Ninjaaahhh..."
Creative: "It doesn't liquify. It just kind of chops and mixes."
Boss: "Who's side are you on, anyway? Go fetch me my Samurai sword! Ninja. Boom!"
Creative: "I... don't think Ninjas and Samurais were... the same... thing... I'm going to go work for Hamilton Beach. Have a wonderful life, and good day to you, sir."
